Lionel Landwerlin 4ef10fe05b drm/i915/perf: add new open param to configure polling of OA buffer
This new parameter let's the application choose how often the OA
buffer should be checked on the CPU side for data availability. Longer
polling period tend to reduce CPU overhead if the application does not
care about somewhat real time data collection.

v2: Allow disabling polling completely with 0 value (Lionel)
v3: Version the new parameter (Joonas)
v4: Rebase (Umesh)
v5: Make poll delay value of 0 invalid (Umesh)
v6:
- Describe poll_oa_period (Ashutosh)
- Fix comment for new poll parameter (Lionel)
- Drop open_flags in read_properties_unlocked (Lionel)
- Rename uapi parameter (Ashutosh)
v7: Reword the comment in uapi (Ashutosh)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
